Correlating Signal with Context

OT-ISAC Regional Director AJ Eserjose writes about the changing defensive landscape around OT, and AI's machine-speed capabilities to contextualize the environment.

Operational resilience must evolve as artificial intelligence becomes a prominent tool in the protection of operational technology (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS). Defenders may use AI to correlate operational signals at machine speed to make more context-informed judgments about the intent behind changes to a facility.

OpenAI-Hugging Face Incident a Wake-Up Call—Not a Reason to Panic

ADM. Michael S. Rogers, USN (Ret.)

ICS Advisory Project founder Dan Ricci writes that traditional OT cybersecurity hygiene practices such as strong authentication and virtual network segmentation are solid defensive measures against the capabilities of frontier AI models in 2026. Will that hold beyond remains to be seen.

Securing the Frontier: Moving Past AI Fear and Toward Systemic Incentives

Former Pfizer Global Head of Automation Engineering James LaBonty writes about how to develop an AI-powered cybersecurity strategy to protect cyber-physical systems (CPS) in manufacturing environments. An AI-powered CPS security strategy in manufacturing should establish operational resilience as its prime mission statement. That means ensuring that uptime of manufacturing assets is paramount. It also means strategizing about how to handle the growing influx of vulnerability disclosures driven by frontier AI models

Check Point Head of Agentic Security Innovation Shahar Tal joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss research he and researcher Yarden Porat presented at Black Hat on vulnerabilities in popular AI agent frameworks, including LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Microsoft Agent Framework, and Google ADK. The vulnerabilities are an indication that these frameworks require additional scrutiny from a security perspective given the trust AI agents are given to execute tasks.

Project Glasswing and the Claude Mythos Preview have caused an upheaval related to vulnerability discovery and exploit development. On Nexus, former NSA Director Adm. Michael S. Rogers introduces some nuance to the discussion. The nuance that isn’t being articulated enough, he says, is that Project Glasswing is largely a defensive effort that does more to level the playing field between threat actors and defenders than we may realize.

Exploring Some Nuance on Project Glasswing

ADM. Michael S. Rogers, USN (Ret.)

Rapid7 Principal Security Research (IoT) lead Deral Heiland joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss work his team did on how attackers might weaponize cellular-based IoT. Rapid7 conducted three phases of this research, with the most recent digging into how attackers with access to these systems can abuse them to gain unauthorized access, potentially exfiltrate critical data, or pivot into backend network infrastructure.

OT has a cybersecurity skills gap. Leading organizations, however, are responding by building cross-functional IT/OT security teams, investing in OT-specific training, creating hybrid cybersecurity roles, and leveraging managed OT security services to bridge immediate gaps. They are also prioritizing asset visibility, documentation, and standardized processes to reduce reliance on tribal knowledge.
